A sting conducted by the Pismo Beach Police Department Sunday resulted in the arrests of three women and two men on charges of prostitution.

During the investigation, undercover officers set up meetings with suspected prostitutes who advertised themselves online. Once the women had arrived and disclosed the details of the exchange, they were taken to jail.

Oh goody thanks be to gawd. With all the Ponzi schemes, corruption, swindles, and outright thievery in the public sector it’s comforting to see law enforcement focusing on the fastball. But consider this: it was at least an honest commercial transaction. Of the complaints lodged in the matter, I see none involved any failure to pay the required fees. Perhaps instead of criminal charges the Chamber of Commerce would welcome a potential honest new member.
